This week is Erin the gestblogger at the diva's. Of course Erin made a zendala template for us to tangle. I drew the template with a pencil on a renaissance zendala tile, and tangled with a black and braun micron 01. For the schading and highlighting I used my prismacolor pencils. I had a very peaceful and zenful evening by completing this challenge!

Have a nice week all of you, and thanks for visiting my blog and for the time you take to give some comments!

- both Schway spaces: my identical twin sons, who leave our home every week to study (arrows going out) and come home every weekend(arrows pointing to the center)

- ambler: my third son who is around but always moves invisible through our house.

- the first step of Ish( flowers) stands for my daughter who is blooming and sparkling al the time in our home.

- the centre tangle ( snowknot from sandy bartolomews Tangles of Kells) represent me and my hubby. The ribbons are hold together by the symbol of marriage: the weddingring, and our arms embrace our four children to protect and love them.

This week we have to use negative space, or leave a lot of the tiles space blank. I use this very often so not a difficult challenge this week, but a really fun one. On my vacation in London, I saw a beautiful statue of two hearts in our hotel. And immediately I knew I would use this as a stringe sometime. That it would be so soon, I never thought. I colored my heartstring with red sharpie, and as background I did printemps and a freeform huggins. I saw this huggins variation on a blog from Sandy ( what a coincidence guestblogger Sandy, and inspiration cam from Sandy on the other side of the globe) Sandy is a brandnew CZT #19, and makes beautiful art. If you want to see how see how she does the huggins variation you should visit her blog Here. The post is in chinese, so hard to read but the pictures are stunning. When you scroll down to the end of the post you will see the video of her doing huggins on a tan zendala tile.

This challenge I really enjoy, I love doing tiles with organic and nature looking patterns, so I made 'n zeppel, narwal and printemps living in perfect harmony on my tan toned strathmore paper, colored with derwent artist pencils.
